A Timely Wife

For the villagers, they have almost no impression of Li Qi. When Li Qi left, he was too young and rarely appeared in the village on weekdays. When the older generation talked about Li Qi, this child was almost the only one left. They liked reading very much back then, but they couldn't remember anything else.On the contrary, Li Qi's parents were very kind when they were alive, and they were very popular in the village. Many old people sighed a lot when they talked about this couple. A good person just didn't live to be old, and died in a different place at a young age. After death, he couldn't enter the ancestral grave, so he could only be a lonely ghost.But no matter how much he sighed and sighed, he had been dead for decades after all, and when he came with Uncle Li Qi's family who had lived in the village for decades, this kind of sigh could almost be ignored.Uncle Li Qi's family has always been strong in the village for decades, even arrogant and domineering. Relying on their wealth, they did some unflattering things. People in the village see Uncle Li Qi's family always like that With an arrogant expression, suddenly seeing this big family crying like this, I always feel that I don’t recognize it. Uncle Li Qi and uncle Niang are also over seventy years old, with silver hair all over their heads, kneeling on the ground and crying all over their faces It's all tears, no matter how you look at it, how pitiful.Therefore, the villagers began to accuse Li Qilai one after another.

"I said, boy Qi, it's been so long since the old sesame seeds and rotten millet, and your parents have been dead for decades, let what should go by let it go, don't pursue it." "Yeah, yeah , look at your uncle and your uncle, and your cousins, nephews and nieces, how pitiful, you, don't be so stubborn anymore, isn't it because you were not allowed to inherit your parents' house and land back then , you have lived a good life these years, if you want silver taels, you have silver taels, if you want fame, you don’t need to ruin the reputation of scholars for that little thing back then, do you think that’s the reason.”

"No, it's not easy for your uncle and your uncle's mother these years. With just a few houses and a few acres of land, it's really difficult to support this big family. The son wants to get married and the girl wants to get married. Come on. It is often a matter of money, and since your life is easier now, it is right to give it a hand."

"That's right, that's why I often tell my children, people just can't have silver, isn't it a good saying, it's not kind to be rich, the richer you are, the more heartless you are, when I said that before, you all laughed I, look, this has come true, even if I have some silver in my hand, my uncle and grandparents don't recognize me anymore. If you want me to say, this kind of person shouldn't be allowed to live here. When it grows up, it will bring down all the young people in our village. If one or two follow suit and don't recognize the elders, then what should we old people do in the future? It's not that we have no hope at all.

"My sister-in-law is right. This kind of atmosphere must not be encouraged. There is no one who doesn't recognize the elders. Don't say that you have a good life outside. Even if you have a bad life, you can't deny yourself because of those things back then. My elder, Kid Qi, it’s not that I rely on the old to sell the old, but that you really did something wrong in this matter.”

"Boy Qi, just listen to my advice and apologize to your uncle and auntie. In the future, the whole family will live in harmony. What's wrong? How many brothers and sisters do you have when you fight tiger brothers and fight with father and son? It’s better to have a brother to help you than to be here alone, isn’t it?”

"Yes, yes, that's the reason. You will always live in the village in the future. If you don't even have a brother, who can help you in whatever happens to you in the future. In case you are bullied, two will be given to you. There is no one who helped fight, if you want me to say, you just apologize to your uncle and uncle, but it is just a matter of one sentence, but you can get a few good helpers, no matter what, you have earned it."

"That is, no matter how much money you earn, no one will help you when you encounter problems. You just earn gold and silver. If you can't keep it, you can't keep it. Boy Qi, you can think clearly, let alone you Uncle and your uncle's mother also know that they are wrong, so let's just let this matter go, everyone will live in the same village from now on, and you can't see each other when you look up, it's not good if it's too stiff. come and go.

"You guys, you eat salty radishes and don't worry about them. Don't you know what that family looks like? Usually, even looking at us makes their eyes dirty. The little grandson of their family saw us begging for food one by one. Ghost, one mouthful and one pauper, I don't think their family has any good intentions. They were able to seize all the kid's family property decades ago, so why can't they do it again after decades? Let me say, boy Qi It is right to admit them, these people are like leeches, they cling to people and suck enough blood, you want to get rid of them, it is very difficult, very rare.

Suddenly hearing such a passage amidst the voices of persuasion and accusations, Li Qi's family was very surprised. They followed the voice and saw that it was an old man whose clothes were old but clean. Li Qi and his family looked over Yes, the old man grinned and continued: "I think you were all deceived by this family, so my old man will put his words here, if Kid Qi really recognizes his uncle's family today, believe it or not, Don't pass today, maybe half an hour later, this big family will pack up their belongings and drag their families to live in."

As soon as the old man's words fell, the villagers who were talking a lot just now stopped talking. These words really made them wake up. Did Uncle Li Qi and Auntie really know that they were wrong, or were they just doing it for the sake of what the old man said? Once again trying to seize Li Qi's family property, the villagers looked at each other and were a little suspicious. According to what Uncle Li Qi's family did, it might really be for Li Qi's family property. jealous.

Uncle Li Qi's family's small calculations were shattered by the old man, and Aunt Li Qi jumped up from the ground and cursed: "You old bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, my mother can't look down on this white-eyed wolf!" My mother is just angry that this kid has no conscience, and I don’t say anything if he doesn’t recognize me, but why doesn’t he recognize his ancestors, doesn’t he believe in Li, isn’t he a descendant of the Li family?”

The old man was not angry when he heard Aunt Li Qi's words. Instead, he smiled and said: "Whether he recognizes that the ancestors care about you? Our ancestors were not angry. What right do you have to be angry? Don't forget, our hundreds of Years ago, they were all in the same family, with the same ancestor. Besides, everyone here is entitled to be angry, but you are not entitled to be angry.

Don't jump in a hurry, listen to me. When Li Qi's parents were alive, there was 170 taels of silver at home. When Qi boy left, he didn't take anything with him except the clothes on his body. Where is the 170 taels of silver? went?You explain this matter clearly first, and then talk about Li Qi's filial piety and non-filial piety. "

Aunt Li Qi's face turned pale when she heard that the silver was 170 taels, and she exclaimed, "How do you know that, you bastard?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Uncle Li Qi immediately scolded loudly: "What did the old woman say, 170 taels of silver, I don't know, we don't know, we have never seen it before."

Aunt Li Qi quickly reacted and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't know, we don't know anything, we have never seen that 170 taels of silver, we have never seen it, we have never seen it."

The old man let out a cold snort of disdain, and said, "I know it's urgent now? How did I know this? I handed over the 170 taels of silver to them. Of course I know. It's ridiculous that both of you are thieves." I don’t know how to do it. The silver cloth is the best silk cloth. You are reluctant to throw it away and made a few purses. Isn’t it the furoshiki that you are hanging around your waist now? Do I need to say that? I wear all the evidence of usurping other people's property on my body, and I think others are fools, so I can't see it at all."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Uncle Li Qi and Uncle Li Qi stretched out their hands to cover their purses hanging around their waists at the same time, even the sons behind them did the same.

In fact, this piece of cloth has been in the box for many years, and has never been taken out to use. When packing up things last year, Aunt Li Qi found it out of the box. The cloth is a good cloth, and it has not been damaged in decades. , but it was too small to do anything, Auntie Li Qi simply made a few purses, one for each of them, and this purse was given to them as lucky money during the Chinese New Year.

Because of this, after the sons went back, they all said that their old mothers were getting more and more picky as they got older. In previous years, there were still dozens of copper coins. Gui complained, facing his old mother, the sons and daughter-in-law can still please them as much as they can. Everyone knows that all the money in the family is in the hands of their own mother. How many things can be divided.

It's just that all of them overlooked one point. They thought that only their own family knew what happened back then, and others didn't know anything about it. But someone in Yiyi knew about it, and Yiyi knew such details, which made Uncle Li Qi My aunt and uncle were extremely panicked. You know, they have been claiming that Li Qi ran away by themselves all these years, and that the house and land at home were also entrusted to them by Li Qi, although this matter was publicly exposed by the patriarch and elders However, no one knows that there is a huge amount of silver taels behind it, more than 170 taels of silver, which is enough for a village to live for several years.
